Excellent Technique, wonderful explanation Thanks
Great example. It gave an idea on a recon project with hundreds of rows coming from several tables. Thanks
Thanks
This looks fantastic and will save me loads and loads of time. I tried implementing it in a reconciliation project but came unstuck when I found that "Conditional Column" under "Add Column" is completely missing. I tried upgrading Excel 2016 to no avail. Any ideas?
Great example
